Polymer selection for Eustachian tube stent application based on mechanical, thermal and degradation behavior

Polymer selection for Eustachian tube stent application based on mechanical, thermal and degradation behavior

The novel concept of stenting the Eustachian tube was established to provide an effective and safe therapy of Eustachian tube dysfunction. Biodegradable polymer stents are being developed to restore impaired tube function. As the supporting effect may be required for different time periods, PLA-co-P...
